Territorial Governor Carter writes to inform President Roosevelt that he has recovered from typhoid and will soon return to Honolulu. Territorial Secretary Alatau L. C. Atkinson may resign for personal reasons, but Carter assures Roosevelt that he has matters in Hawaii under control. Carter praises Roosevelt’s efforts for the Rate Bill but is concerned that, while people support the bill, they believe Roosevelt can win without help. Carter fears that this complacency could encourage the opposition.
